Setup PayPal

PayPal is a good option for people with who process a very low volume of orders.
 
  • No minimum monthly fee. PayPal charges no monthly fees or setup fee, however they charge fees on each transaction.
  • With PayPal, you do not require a merchant account
  • However, the order process for customers using PayPal can be more complex as PayPal may prompt them to create a PayPal account during the order, which may result in a reduced conversion rate.
